although it has 6GB internal memory, my FP5 almost always has to reload apps when I switch from one app to another. When I am listening podcasts, they even stop when I open another app, and I have to lookup the podcast again and start over. Very annoying. I just restarted once again my FP5, but in …

Memory management issues here too, makes the phone barely usable in some contexts. Let’s say I open a Google search and start typing: the keyboard (SwiftKey) disappears and reappears 2 or 3 times in a row until it finally stays for good. At the same time, my Mi band app restarts too (the icon dis…

Could someone who’s allowed to create polls create one for me? I’d like to know if people seeing this problem have the 6GB or 8GB model.

Hey, To add some information, I got this issue since Android 15 is installed with the security update of the 5th of June 2025. I never had any issue before this installation.
